Diprovate Lotion contains Betamethasone and Zinc, which block the production of chemical messengers that cause inflammation. It also acts as an antiseptic (prevents microbes' growth) and astringent (contracts the skin cells) on the skin.

How Diprovate Lotion Works

Diprovate Lotion is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone and Zinc.• Betamethasone is a steroid and anti-inflammatory agent that blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy). It also helps to reduce immune response, thereby controlling inflammation.• Zinc acts as an antiseptic (prevents microbes' growth) and astringent (contracts the skin cells) on the skin.
